| contents | Movable antenna (MA) has emerged as a promising technology to flexibly reconfigure wireless channels by adjusting antenna placement. In this paper, we study a dual-functional radar-communication (DFRC) system enhanced with movable antennas. To ensure communication security, we aim to maximize the achievable sum rate by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming vectors, receiving filter, and antenna placement, subject to radar signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance and transmission covertness constraints. To tackle this challenging optimization problem, we first employ a Lagrangian dual transformation process to reformulate it into a more tractable form. Subsequently, the problem is solved by introducing a block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm, incorporating semidefinite relaxation (SDR), projected gradient descent (PGD), and successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the covert sum rate, and achieve a satisfactory balance between the communication and radar performance compared with existing benchmark schemes by leveraging the flexibility of movable antennas. |
